We are delighted to say that Jeremy Bentham’s Prison Cooking, a book produced by students on UCL’s MA in Publishing course and based on manuscripts transcribed by TB volunteers, has been published. We are thrilled to bits that this project has come to fruition, and in such a handsome, professional book. It will soon be available to order online, so please do watch this space.

Thank you, as always, to everyone who has contributed to TB during the last seven days. It remains as greatly appreciated as always.
